You will have to take out your other bolt and remove the caliper from the mounting bracket. You will have to buy a new caliper slide and bolt.

The way it is setup is: Brake caliper mounting bracket, brake caliper slides, and the brake caliper. The piston is located inside the brake caliper. Calling parts their correct name will help your parts person know what you are talking about.

A competent machinist should be able to get the broken bolt out without damaging the part.
